(Round your answer to thehundredths place)

Respuesta :

[tex]y=-0.428x+111.73[/tex]

For y = 47

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=47 \\ 47=-0.428x+111.73 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solve for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 47=-0.428x+111.73 \\ 47-111.73=-0.428x \\ -64.73=-0.428x \\ x=\frac{-64.73}{-0.428} \\ x\approx151.24 \end{gathered}[/tex]
